Is evolution like a well-tuned car that purrs down the road at a steady pace? Or is it more like an aging, rattling jalopy that often lurches forward? The aging jalopy is a handy metaphor for the ...

The American policy process is characterized by a pattern known as “Punctuated Equilibrium,” manifesting as periods of stasis interspersed with large periods of change. Punctuated equilibrium suggests ...

Aneuploidy is a hallmark of breast cancer; however, knowledge of how these complex genomic rearrangements evolve during tumorigenesis is limited. In this study, we developed a highly multiplexed ...

Over the past 500 million years, nearly all evolutionary changes in octopuses and squids occurred in rapid bursts during the emergence of new species, according to research from the University of ...

What does an esoteric concept in evolutionary biology have to do with the speed of change we are seeing in the workplace, retail and entertainment? Punctuated equilibrium is a theory that evolutionary ...

The gamma spike model is a phylogenetic clock model for BEAST 2. This method tests for punctuated equilibrium, by assigning each branch a gradual clock-rate and an instaneaneous spike of abrupt ...

Abstract: In this paper, the critical importance of scaling theory to the success of CMOS technology will be reviewed and evaluated. The history of CMOS shows that scaling theory has been the dominant ...
